Chapter 965: Some Old Tales (2/2)

“Hahaha, we won’t tell you, G.o.dd.a.m.ned crow. You just want to trick us.” The second voice sneered.

“How can you say that? This is an auspicious day. Not only do we old friends get to meet again, you two have made peace from your timeless irreconcilable feud as well.” Li Qiye smiled: “Since it is such a good day, don’t you think we should exchange some gifts?”

“Really now?” The first voice answered: “d.a.m.ned crow, although you are not as vicious as that Tian Tu brat, you are not a good person either. It’s not like I haven’t experienced your scheming before.”

Without a doubt, the two existences inside the ocean were very cautious of Li Qiye and knew that he was definitely up to no good.

Li Qiye laughed and leisurely said: “I won’t have any ideas about the item you two have been competing for. Even if I did, you two would go all out against me, right?”

“Hmph, what do you want from us?” The second voice coldly uttered.

“Frankly, you’re both underestimating me too much. This Dark Crow has never lacked treasures. Even though your treasury has many good things, it is not to the extent where I would start salivating for them. There are many locations in this world with better treasures.” Li Qiye acted as if he was not interested.

“You might not be lacking treasures, but I haven’t seen you say no to any treasure before.” The second voice responded: “If you want some treasures, we can give you a few, but don’t push it!”

“No, no, no…” Li Qiye shook his head: “Why are you two being so contemptuous? I didn’t come here for treasures. On the contrary, I may offer you two a great gift.”

The two existences both went silent. How could they trust someone who had tricked them before? Especially when the guy wasn’t a virtuous soul at all.

“If you two aren’t interested, then nevermind. There is a good proverb for this — business does not override friends.h.i.+p. May we meet again.” Li Qiye smiled and said. [1. Another hard to translate proverb. It is saying that a failed business deal shouldn’t affect one’s friends.h.i.+p.]

The first voice finally spoke: “We’re listening.”

Li Qiye calmly began: “First, I want you two to answer a question. If you refuse, then I can’t reveal my gift. My question is, with this opportunity, when can you two come out?”

“Don’t tell him.” The second voice clearly didn’t trust Li Qiye.

Li Qiye waved his hand dismissively: “I can’t do anything about it if you don’t want to tell me. The only thing I can say is that both of you will miss the best opportunity.”

The first voice went quiet before answering: “This generation, we can definitely come out this generation!”

“Good.” Li Qiye rubbed his chin and said: “What are your plans after climbing out of this place? To travel freely or to dominate the world? Or perhaps go to look for something?”

The two existences didn’t answer. They had been in this place for too long and had never thought about what to do after going outside.

“Have you two thought about returning?” Li Qiye threw out this topic.

“Hah.” The second voice snorted: “d.a.m.ned crow, are you trying to trick us? Return? We know more than you about this.”

Li Qiye only chuckled in response: “Know more than me? How long have you been here for? Tell me.”

He paused for a moment before leisurely continuing: “How can you two know how many times I have been there? Or how much time I have spent there? Or what tasks I have accomplished there?”

“Haha, it can’t be anything good, that’s for sure. Only one thing is certain, you must have been chased around by those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds and had to hide the whole time.” The second voice gloatingly laughed after imagining Li Qiye’s pitiful state.

Li Qiye was still as carefree as ever: “Well, I won’t deny that. I’m not someone who does a lot of good deeds. Wherever I go, the risk of death will follow — this is quite normal. People always say that a crow is an ominous sign, so this isn’t strange at all.”
